Pistons Finalize One-Year Deal for Javonte Green

Detroit views Green as a defensive energy provider in a low-risk move to bolster its wing rotation.

Overview

  • Sources say the Pistons are finalizing a veteran minimum one-year contract with 32-year-old swingman Javonte Green, but guarantee status remains unreported.
  • His signing would bring Detroit to 14 players on standard contracts and offer him a direct path to compete for the final spot on the 15-man roster.
  • Green is known for his defensive energy and versatility, posting career averages of 5.3 points and 3.1 rebounds in 16.8 minutes per game.
  • After a Pelicans buyout in February, Green made 18 starts and 50 appearances before finishing the season with the Eastern Conference-leading Cavaliers.
  • Undrafted in 2015, Green developed his game in Spain, Italy and Germany before earning an NBA opportunity in 2019 with the Celtics.
